  1. Re:Worst ... idea.... ever on Proposal to Update the Electoral College · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a Communist Party picking a leader of the country back in Soviet Union days.

  2. Re:Three ways to authenticate yourself on The Future of Crime - Biometric Spoofing? · · Score: 1

    Could use brain-wave authentification, which is kinda hard to read out unless you allow to, and use encryption on the reciever side, so even if someone steals the sample against which activity is mesured, he can't re-produce activity signature itself.

  3. Re:Three ways to authenticate yourself on The Future of Crime - Biometric Spoofing? · · Score: 1

    It is becoming apparent that "something you are" part is quickly merging with "something you have" part as it is becoming easier to "steal" biometric properties. That, or just plain cut a hand/poke an eye scenario comes to mind.

  4. Time to move to a hybrid! on Congress Passes Energy Efficient Server Initiative · · Score: 1

    Looks like I'll be moving all my computers to a hybrid energy source now! I wonder if when "Turbo" button is pressed on my pc case I have to use at least 93-ocatane gas?

  5. Re:I'm all for being an earth concious consumer... on Congress Passes Energy Efficient Server Initiative · · Score: 1

    Yes, but whom did you vote for when Gore ran?!!

  6. Re:Once is ok, but twice is too much... on Debian Server Compromised · · Score: 1

    That's unless someone hacked into the certificate servers...

  7. Finally... on Inflatable Private Space Station Launched · · Score: 1

    Finally a vapor ware I could use for a space flight!

  8. Re:Filota? on Scientists Question Laws of Nature · · Score: 1

    So many responses, all triggered by slashdot's ignoring of tag... excelent!

  9. Filota? on Scientists Question Laws of Nature · · Score: 1

    If that's the case, should we phisicists start looking for a new particle, underlying eveything? Filota, enyone?

  10. BPI? on BPI Requests ISPs Suspend Suspected Filesharers · · Score: 1

    What is this Pornographic Industry I keep reading about and why does it have so much influence on government?

  11. Re:Really Big Artificial Brain? on Stem Cells Cure Paralyzed Rats · · Score: 1

    Sad, but true.

  12. Really Big Artificial Brain? on Stem Cells Cure Paralyzed Rats · · Score: 1
    I wonder if this opens possibility of growing a really big artifitial brain? Or maybe just growing some extra brain for certain people?

    Two mice are wanted for questioning on this...

  13. Re:I wonder... on Laptop Explodes at Japanese Conference · · Score: 1

    The US Marshalls' "standard in-flight issue" gun supposed to be non-hull-penetrating.

  14. Re:News? on Microsoft Confirms Excel Zero-Day Attack · · Score: 1

    Nope, Have to wait after the patch cycle. Because, what if this new patch actually closes this hole?

  15. Re:Colony on the moon on New Crater On Moon Caught On Video · · Score: 1

    To continue the analogy, however, you'll be shooting at it with an RPG, so, there'll be no more barn (or ant to speak of).

  16. Re:avoidance on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1

    Wait, don't they already have an Alpha site?

  17. What are those? on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1
    We'd just start creating things that can wipe out the galaxy.

    What are you talking about?

  18. What about p0rn?! on Google Researchers Create TV Audio Analysis System · · Score: 1

    There could be all kind of films with any number of people, doing all kinds of things, all using the same exact soundtrack! Have they thought of THAT?!

  19. Just about had it with BofA on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 1
    Having stayed with the same bank for around 10 years... It kept changing names until finally became a part of BofA. As soon as they did, the service and ability of branch to be more or less helpfull has plunged. Handling of fees has become just outright rediculus.

    The only thing they still had going has been technology, which was obvius, considering that they can spend enormus ammounts on it, being one of the bigest banks.

    Having dealt with software, writen by half-paid Indian IT workers, I can only imagine what kind of shit we are about to witness. Because of that, and in solidarity with fellow US IT crowd, I must say: "So long, greedy BofA, I am taking my $0.02 elsewhere!"

  20. Re:Captcha is a nice idea but... on Web Users Angered by Anti-Spam 'Captcha' · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but multiple choice just not gonna work. Spammers will just randomly select an answer and get pretty good success rate, 25% in choice of 4 without any image analysing efforts.

  21. Re:Why Corall Cache? on Soldiers Bond with Bomb-Defusing Robots · · Score: 1

    Ahhhh... that explains it!

  22. Why Corall Cache? on Soldiers Bond with Bomb-Defusing Robots · · Score: 1

    Hm... the link in summary points to msnbc.msn.com site... I wonder, does it really need to be CC'ed? I would think that msnbc has should be more then capable to withstand /.ing?

  23. Encrypted or Not... on NSA Chose Invasive Phone Analysis Option · · Score: 1

    If one to assume that "analysis" == data mining, it doesn't matter whether it's encrypted or not: it's not like NSA wouldn't have a encryption key/algorithm available to look at any data at will.

  24. meat problems? on Spam Gets Personal · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, that's why I get all those VIAGRA messages?

  25. Re:so... on Unique Visitors = 1/10th of Unique IPs? · · Score: 1

    Got to watch out for those negative visitors!
